Abstract: Prompt gamma rays produced during irradiation of sodium, silicon, sulfur and potassium with fission neutrons were measured with the FaNGaS instrument at Heinz-Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum. Relative intensities and production cross sections of 100 gamma lines (19 for sodium, 13 for silicon, 20 for sulfur and 48 for potassium) are presented and evaluated in comparison with existing literature data. Furthermore, the detection limits of sodium, silicon, sulfur and potassium were determined for a counting time of 12 h as 0.1, 0.6, 1 and 4 mg, respectively.
